Question

This process is called folding, where layers of rock are bent and rumpled due to compression forces. Faulting involves the breaking and sliding of rock layers, shear involves the sliding of rock layers past each other, tension involves the stretching of rock layers, and subducting involves the sinking of one tectonic plate beneath another.
